I love how only a father understands the way their young children talk. I remember it very well from when my kids were young. Enjoy the TIMING of all of this.
Michael im about to have a baby boy . Im looking for a 1981 chevy pickup to tear it up and start from scratch, basically by the time he can drive id want to have this built. Ur comment caught my attention, look at this guy with his little boy, love how he explains to his kido !!!
I'm glad you appreciate having your kids around. Not every man can see how much it means to everyone involved. To be fair this is my first video/impression on your channel. Thank you for your efforts/time.
I give lots of credit, having the kids running around while trying to figure out what's wrong with the truck . Definitely off timing . But it will fire up . Good luck . 👍. I subscribed. Love his energy .
Chevy firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. That is even written across the intake on most. So easy to get it in time. Take number one plug out put your thumb Over the Hole have somebody bump it over until your thumb gets blowed off. Once that is done turn the crank until your balancer is on zero with the timing mark. Make sure the piston is up not down with a screwdriver! Then drop your distributor in pointing at number one cylinder if it does not drop in the whole way just pick up slightly and keep rotating the rotor button l until it drops in facing number one cylinder this may take a few tries but it will keep dropping down in and it will be off but if you keep just lifting up a little bit and turning the rotor button it will eventually fall in on number one what you're doing is turning the drive on the oil pump to match with the cam. Good luck it's easy all it takes is a little bit of patience.
By the way you want to turn the rotor button clockwise same as the rotation of the firing order is clockwise. Make sure you don't have the plug wires mixed up either!
Came for the build and was surprised to see how involved you kept your kids. Wish my dad and me got along so we could work on my builds together instead of him hating it:/ keep it up dude they'll grow up with memories to tell there friends about when they're older
That's a beautiful moment Father and Son together. I know my generation and the younger generation are scared to have kids but having kids in your twenties is the best. When they are teenagers, you're still not that old and still able to build a strong bond. Maybe having kids in late teens it's not a good idea but when I look at those family, they look like a beautiful young family.
"There's a mouse in your in your truck" me: aw poor kid little young to see death "Theres an elephant in your truck" Me: well... now we have bigger problems
That's so cool to see the kids. I remember anytime I helped my dad I always remembered how our bond got stronger. Now I've got a 3 year old and she's a master tech with a socket wrench
I love how your boys were "helping" by losing lug nuts, etc. You're a good papa, keeping your cool so well. Enjoy your time with your little ones. They'll be grown up before you even know it.
You seem like a good Dad. Kids grow fast. It's great you let them hang out. They'll remember that when they get older. I love when my boys work with me.
C10 : well cool $2000 budget : awesome Wheels : *_not sure_* Might have been better off with the oem ones, but I don't really mind, on with the show, keep up the good work !
I subscribed right after seeing you with your kid, I hope your videos turn out to be good seeing how I've never watched one before this. I saw how you interact with you son, and it had memories come back to me when mine were that young and me out working on stuff 24/7, but when you stopped what you were doing and looked back at your kid when you were trying to get him to say wheel that's what helped me see what kinda man you were, even if the videos aren't good I would still be subscribed simply because of the respect you have of your kid.. you also made sure to tell them not to get too close to the truck while it was on stands.. your a good parent and a good man, keep up the good work and love those kids with everything you possible have in your body.. they will test you when they get older and you will wanna break something but during those times moments like these will come back to you and you will catch yourself laughing under your breath then u will start to think back on times you acted like that toward ur parents lol.. good luck buddy
A few things of note. 1. Your intake manifold if a spreadbore style, intended for the GM stock Quadrajet and your Carb I believe to be a squarebore, as I don't recall Edelbrock releasing aftermarket carbs in a spreadbore configuration. 2. As others pointed out you're probably 180° off on your timing. You have to ensure the distributor is put in at #1 TDC of the compression stroke, pull the spark plug and ensure the #1 is in compression by sticking your finger over the plug hole, you will fell compression building. When you're dropping in your distributor ensure the tip of the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 cylinder, this will allow the ease of plug wiring. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 ensure the plugs are in the correct order, a general "starting point" is pointing the vacuum advanced canister at #6. For a good Video on this check out Myvintageiron7512's video (ruclips.net/video/O4WRL513Gx4/видео.html) 3. Also, to ensure the nylon bushing don't get tore up prematurely check your door hinge bushings for slop by opening the door and lifting up, if the door moves around without moving the body of the truck you need to replace the bushings, it's a bit of a PITA but cheap and highly recommended. Or you can replace the whole hinge which isn't too expensive but unless you paint them they'll be a bit of an eyesore IMO
Your brother was one of my football coaches and I had no idea that you had this RUclips channel till he shared it on Facebook! Now I’m binge watching all the videos! 😂
Nice build dude, keep it up and give your little hotrodders around cars. I didn't have a dad to do that with, and it gets me misty eyed seeing someone else doing that. Awesome channel and great editing 👍
Great video. Awesome that you have your kids involved. They will remember these times when they grow up. Just bought my 87 suburban to spend time wrenching on something with my boy. Good times!!!
The TIMING of this video was a huge coincidence. I've been watching Garage Garage (hoonigan) and a couple other people and their C10s I was looking into them and found most of them in the condition yours is in were still around 5k, so you got a great deal! Should be able to get drop blocks, flip kit and lower the torsion bars to get some low low on it!
garage garaaaaaage! Yeah you can find em cheap just have top be patient. Chase sent this one to me on fb when it came up and I bought it immediately but I was looking for about 3 months
Every time buddy!! Timing all the way!! I could definitely help you out with setting the timing on that square body!! First you don’t have to take valve cover off just take the number 1 plug out!! The firing order is 18436572 driver side very front one is 1 then next one back towards the cab is 3 then 5 & 7 passenger side very front one is 2 then 4,6&8!! Hopefully that will get you started! On your distributor when you drop it in you want the rotor pointing towards number 1 plug in the block!! & the terminal on top of the cap right above the pointer on the rotor is where you start your spark plug wires!! & that is where you start with the number 1 plug wire going clock wise on top next is 8,4,3,6,5,7,2!!! Now if it back fires threw the carb like it did in this video you have the distributor 180 degrees of!! Hopefully that will help you!! Oh & yes timing!!
This was nice to watch. I miss my little man being that little watching me work on the bike or car! Time flies man! They pick up on everything so fast! Love and cherish every moment. God bless
I'm 16 and I just picked up a 98 blazer from my aunt. I have to pay for the shop bill (abs and I don't want to mess with it) but it's still a pretty good deal. Edit: timing
You have my respect and 19-year-old kid from Canada and I love the fact that you’re doing this on a budget putting family first putting your child first and truck last even though for all us guys have dealt with depression bullying and all that crap trucks have meant so much to us and been there for sad times happy times heartbreak times etc. I love watching your videos and I’m definitely subscribing keep doing what you’re doing and always keep your chin high signing off for now Chris cheers
Something I have done since I was a young person first helping my dad on cars is. The wheel that gets taken off gets slid under the car until the work is done. Like an extra safety check
No idea if you read these but dude I love when I’m working on my bikes having my daughter around. Coolest part of being a dad is showing them what you love too. Dope to see someone else doing the same. Keep on keeping on my guy.
And what are your thoughts about a small lift on a C10 to fit slightly larger wider wheels not overly ridiculous like a K10 mud truck but enough to make it look mean
Man seeing your little boy makes me miss when mine was that little. He is only six now but I miss those days. Mine was all over more than yours though, but he has always loved working with me on stuff and watching. Treasure these moments, they grow up too fast.
Left it up!!Pop the the springs off..Where the spring spirals around cut the top only exactly the way it's shape to begin with...No costs lowering,,Enjoy!!
Good video and good project. Your timing is off for sure. Just take out #1 spark plug, bump crank engine with your finger over the hole to feel the pressure when it is on compression. Take distributor out and reinstall with rotor contact pointing to the #1 wire terminal of the distributor cap. Leave distributor hold down a little loose and start engine. Then set timing to specified initial advance by rotating the distributor and watching the strobe of the timing light.
I've been daily driving a 77 Buick Skylark with a 307 in it and 57K on the odometer for the last 15 years, I bought the car from the lady next door who bought it new in 76 and sold it to me for $800 when she got too old to drive anymore. The Original idea was to "fix it up" and use it as a Cruise-in/Car Show car but after giving it a once over I realized other than needing the headliner redone because of some slight sagging and fixing a couple of tiny rust holes behind the rear wheel wells and some touch up paint I decided I would sell my daily driver (a 99 Dodge Avenger) and just start driving the Skylark. I spent right at $1100 on the initial investment, counting sales tax, tags and insurance , on the car after a real good clean up of the engine bay, changing the fluids and air filter and a couple rattle cans of pint for the engine, headers, air cleaner, steel wheels and a set of cheap baby moons . This summer my son and grandson and I are going to pull the engine and trans and completely rebuild both and i'm thinking about throwing a budget paint job on it because the original paint is getting kinda worn out. In 15 years I still have less than $2500 in into it not including gas, Insurance and tags and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. I LOVE my car. I'm glad to see the younger generation is getting back into that mind set instead of putting themselves into debt with a $400 a month car payment every month on a car that is a throw away piece of plastic that they will just have replace after 200,000 miles because that's all they are built for now a days. My son and daughter, who are now 30 and 27 were the same way with thier first vehicle, son bought a 84 F-150 and my daughter bought a 75 Mustang II on the cheap off Craigslist when they turned 16, Son still owns and drives his F-150. That a COOL lil Honda Civic Station Wagon sitting in the background btw, takes me back to my childhood, my bestfriends dad had one when I was a kid.
Yup, timing is 180 deg,.out, pull#1 plug and valve cover, turn by hand with finger over plug hole...make it fart on your finger to find compression stroke and watch valves close. TDC. point vacuum advance at #1, install distributor and you should have base timing. Timing light will be needed for final setting. Good luck. Dad time with the boys, outstanding. Stay safe.
TIMING Working on my dad's 1986 cheve step side that he custom ordered and we inherited. Thank you for all the video content it is a huge help to your project. Blessings
Thank u for sharing. I’m glad I ran into your video since I just purchased a 1986 C10 and just now starting to refurbish it at home with my GF help. Can’t wait for next video in this build
The really cheap trick is to get you a piece of 1/2" PEX pipe. Cut it to length of that striker. Split it longways and slip over the striker and it will work almost as good as the correct bushing. And if your like me you had it laying around and it was free.
When working on grass, old brake rotors make great platforms to support jackstands to help keep them from sinking, also a bottle jack or a scissor jack on a brake rotor or drum works better off road
A little back yard tip on 350 chevy engine is take the number one spark plug out ( looking at engine standing front of truck , right side closest to you) and put your finger over the hole and have someone bump over the engine until your finger blows off and have the rotor button pointing towards the number one cylinder and timing should be pretty close set if you have not done that already

Yeah its pretty cool to see them with him, but i personally don't like 3 minute scenes where theres just the kid talking something..
Blackdavid2011 that’s part of it though, it’s real, kids are curious and he’s very much a family man
Stoked to have them back on this one
hahaha this ^
You started this build as the government is making everyone stay home in quarantine, great timing!
Ya wouldn't spend the $$ at this time tbh..
Wow this is a comment a year ago and it feels like yesterday when everything shut down. Thats crazy
He’s such an amazing dad, taking the time out of working to make his boys lunch and set out a table for them. Absolutely amazing dad and person!!
I like how the apprentices had their lunch while the boss worked, then one hid the bolts so they could get off work early.
I'd say 180 out on the "timing"
Yup he's got the timing on the intake stroke instead of the exhaust stroke
I agree
Yup ass backwards adding gas to that made me pissed off. I did the same thing when I was 14😂
literally just said the same thing then saw your comment, simple fix tho!
I lost my eyebrows that way when I was 16 lol
I’m calling it.. He’s on his way to a million subs soon. I can’t believe I didn’t come across this guys sooner.
It's tax return time, so the TIMING is just right to start a budget build. Keep up the good work dude.

The way that truck is spitting fire its gotta be out 180* “TIMING” Is everything in those old engines if it’s not perfect it’s gonna give you problems
Yeah I had this problem with my v6 c10 I was about a centimeter off and it gave me problems with it
I hope I can be this kind of dad someday! Very interested to see where this build goes, too! Keep it up
I can’t help but notice how good of a dad you are even while working on the truck
So nice to see father and son being together, and learning
I love seeing the boys back in the video! I have missed seeing them HELP!

Man this reminds me of days long gone, working on my c10 with my old man. glad to see the tradition is still alive.
Whenever they get old enough to play video games, I highly recommend Car Mechanic Simulator

Be extra careful with kids around, block the rear tires front and back...
Timing. The boys won’t realize until older what good times they had with dad. Way to get them involved man..
A few things of note.
1. Your intake manifold if a spreadbore style, intended for the GM stock Quadrajet and your Carb I believe to be a squarebore, as I don't recall Edelbrock releasing aftermarket carbs in a spreadbore configuration.
2. As others pointed out you're probably 180° off on your timing. You have to ensure the distributor is put in at #1 TDC of the compression stroke, pull the spark plug and ensure the #1 is in compression by sticking your finger over the plug hole, you will fell compression building. When you're dropping in your distributor ensure the tip of the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 cylinder, this will allow the ease of plug wiring. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 ensure the plugs are in the correct order, a general "starting point" is pointing the vacuum advanced canister at #6. For a good Video on this check out Myvintageiron7512's video (ruclips.net/video/O4WRL513Gx4/видео.html)
3. Also, to ensure the nylon bushing don't get tore up prematurely check your door hinge bushings for slop by opening the door and lifting up, if the door moves around without moving the body of the truck you need to replace the bushings, it's a bit of a PITA but cheap and highly recommended.

The firing order is 18436572 driver side very front one is 1 then next one back towards the cab is 3 then 5 & 7 passenger side very front one is 2 then 4,6&8!! Hopefully that will get you started!

Now if it back fires threw the carb like it did in this video you have the distributor 180 degrees of!! Hopefully that will help you!! Oh & yes timing!!

Thanks so much man!! It helps a ton
BUILT OFFICIAL of course
The joy of old tech... being able to sit in the engine bay while you crank on the engine
That "plate" on other intake manifold was a carb spacer actually adds hp supposedly
Reese Gaster no, it was an adapter to be able to run a non spreadbore carb on that intake
This was nice to watch. I miss my little man being that little watching me work on the bike or car! Time flies man! They pick up on everything so fast! Love and cherish every moment. God bless
Back fire through carb like that almost always means timing issue
Awesome watching you build and interact with your children. Teaching them young. By the time they’re your age, they’ll know how to set timing!

Timing
Tip, if your door starts getting loose on the striker wrap electrical tape around the striker until it gets tight old GM Tip
How to work on an engine in an old truck:
1. open the hood
2. step into your office
3. get to work

In 15 years I still have less than $2500 in into it not including gas, Insurance and tags and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. I LOVE my car. I'm glad to see the younger generation is getting back into that mind set instead of putting themselves into debt with a $400 a month car payment every month on a car that is a throw away piece of plastic that they will just have replace after 200,000 miles because that's all they are built for now a days. My son and daughter, who are now 30 and 27 were the same way with thier first vehicle, son bought a 84 F-150 and my daughter bought a 75 Mustang II on the cheap off Craigslist when they turned 16, Son still owns and drives his F-150. That a COOL lil Honda Civic Station Wagon sitting in the background btw, takes me back to my childhood, my bestfriends dad had one when I was a kid.
“Starting with a good platform” shows rust😂 I love this wholesome channel
You see how he is sitting in the engine bay and working, that's how vehicles should be made today, not full of electronics and wires everywhere
Having the boys help is great. Can't wait to start a build with my son.
This is the most wholesome car video I’ve ever seen and I love it
Yup, timing is 180 deg,.out, pull#1 plug and valve cover, turn by hand with finger over plug hole...make it fart on your finger to find compression stroke and watch valves close. TDC. point vacuum advance at #1, install distributor and you should have base timing. Timing light will be needed for final setting. Good luck. Dad time with the boys, outstanding. Stay safe.
Your kids are precious! Looking forward to the rest of this build
I'm in love with the datsun in the background 😢I miss my old wagon
TIMING Working on my dad's 1986 cheve step side that he custom ordered and we inherited. Thank you for all the video content it is a huge help to your project. Blessings
The TIMING of this video is fantastic!
Your sons were raised right man. They are gonna learn to love cars.
I'm truly inspired, Dad! I have an 86 square body and am about right where you are with my build. Good luck with the timing.
It’s a great feeling when you see how your work pays off.
And the best dad of the year award goes to....BUILT OFFICIAL
Thank u for sharing. I’m glad I ran into your video since I just purchased a 1986 C10 and just now starting to refurbish it at home with my GF help. Can’t wait for next video in this build
Subscribed just cos seeing boy's help their daddy made my heart happy.
It's good to have a video where you can see a father having a good time with his kids and learning them some stuff
The really cheap trick is to get you a piece of 1/2" PEX pipe. Cut it to length of that striker. Split it longways and slip over the striker and it will work almost as good as the correct bushing. And if your like me you had it laying around and it was free.
Your son just stole the show😎good job Dad💯
When working on grass, old brake rotors make great platforms to support jackstands to help keep them from sinking, also a bottle jack or a scissor jack on a brake rotor or drum works better off road
A little back yard tip on 350 chevy engine is take the number one spark plug out ( looking at engine standing front of truck , right side closest to you) and put your finger over the hole and have someone bump over the engine until your finger blows off and have the rotor button pointing towards the number one cylinder and timing should be pretty close set if you have not done that already
